I think that it's important to continue thinking about Y2K because at the core of Y2K is really a confrontation with how reliant we as a society and we as a world have become on computer technology. Yeah.

Far too often, the dangers that we expose ourselves to, the risks that we expose ourselves to, they only become things that we really confront, they only become things that we really deal with in these moments of crisis. And so Y2K is this moment of crisis that forces us to think about how reliant we had become on computer technology

And I think it would be a good thing for us to be thinking about and aware of these issues as they persist today without needing something going horribly wrong to make us pay attention to it. But the deadline probably helped. Oh, of course. I mean, there's nothing like having a discrete deadline to which you can count down that really, really drives the issue. It really builds it up.

So pretty much from the beginning of this problem, and it has its origins in the 1950s and 1960s, the computer programmers who are making the decision which eventually is going to become the Y2K problem, they're aware that eventually this is going to become a problem.

it's always something that it's very far distant it's down the road starting in the 1970s you start to see people talking about this a little bit more specifically the computer scientist bob beamer writes an article in 1971 talking about this future problem that it's going to represent the worst part is the embedded chips

You can actually find the first coverage of this in the New York Times in 1988. 1993 is really the point at which the IT sector really starts waking up to this issue. really starts working on this issue, really starts talking about this much more internally. The point at which the government really starts paying attention to this is actually 1996.

And by the time the public really starts to pay much more attention to this, the irony is those working in IT, those on the government side, are already pretty confident that the problem is being handled. They are less concerned by the point that the public starts having its freak out to the extent that that happens.
